Arcane Lord

That day, he came to the top of a small hill in the forest not far to the west of the Elf Court. Under the gaze of many high-ranking elven wizards, Shado saluted the sun and then inserted the Sword of Domination into a circle of flowers.

The sunlight poured out from the Sword of Domination, like a stream of water, spreading rapidly from the ground where the sword was inserted to the outside until it covered the entire hill.

When Shado pulled the Sword of Domination out of the ground, the hill where he was standing rose up at a speed visible to the naked eye and quickly transformed into a tall tower.

"Everyone, this is the future new capital - Cormanthor!" Shado announced to the high-ranking wizards who came to witness it.

Today, four years after the Sword Trial, the Crown King of Orsens of Jerrenstad has long passed away, and his heir has chosen to surrender to Shado.

At this moment, at the top of the tower, the high-ranking mages sang in unison: "Lair Akaramar, the crowned king of Cormanthor, the only true king of the future elven world, we salute you!"

After the establishment of the Tower of Domination, the holders of the other two divine swords, Beno Hoxon and Istimar Galanord, also established the Tower of War and the Tower of Skills on both sides of the Tower of Domination.

In the Tower of Domination, Shado met with the complete advisory group for the first and last time, after which he returned to the top floor and announced that he would enter a short state of meditation.

Then he returned to the main plane. As for the subsequent construction of the new city of Cormanthor, let the real Lair Akaramar worry about it!

…

Main plane, Tower of Time, Plane Exploration Layer, Projection Hall.

Four years of memory, and even time, were fed back to the main body at once. Shado groaned almost uncontrollably, and then fainted on the ground.

When he woke up, he found himself lying on Nia's bed, and Nia was sitting on a chair not far away and reading quietly.

Perhaps it was a telepathic connection. When Xia Duo opened his eyes, Niya was also looking up at him.

When their eyes met, Xia Duo could see the worry and blame in Niya's eyes. When Niya saw him wake up, she said angrily:

"Bishop Umbrill just came to check. He said that you have a phenomenon of a large amount of time passing in a short period of time. How long have you been in the projection plane!"

"Don't worry, it's not long, I just have more memories."

Xia Duo explained casually, then got up and got out of bed, and Niya also stood up, looking at him constantly. Xia Duo was looked at by Niya like this, even though they were an old couple, he felt a little embarrassed.

However, when he put his hand on Niya's waist, it was Niya's turn to be embarrassed. Of course, Xia Duo did not continue to do bad things, but just changed the subject at the right time:

"I have become a senior arcanist!"

"Really?!"

Nia was happy at first, but then she reacted and realized that Xia Duo must have been in the projection plane for a long time.

But she couldn't say anything harsh, so she could only sigh, "You don't have to be like this. We are in the southern border, and we have the Tower of Time to support us. Who can threaten us?"

Xia Duo nodded, agreeing with Niya's statement, but no matter what, more power is always good.

Moreover, he was not satisfied with just protecting himself. If possible, he also wanted to gain benefits from this storm.

And the premise of all this is at least to have a senior arcanist as a foundation.

...

After comforting Niya, Xia Duo immediately sent a certification application to the Arcane Union. If arcanists can only obtain the status of a Level 4 member of the Arcane Union, then senior arcanists can at least become Level 5 members.

Equivalent to the director level, except for the great arcanists, Level 5 members are already the top of the Arcane Union.

Of course, Level 5 members of the Arcane Union are not very useful, and their actual power within the union may not be as great as that of a Level 4 member with a position, but this is a symbol of status and influence.

Even a great wizard cannot directly become a Level 5 member of the Union of Arcane Magic. Only senior arcanists, who are closest to subverting the Nether magic system, can be so special.

When it comes to Level 5 members, certification does not require going to the headquarters of the Union of Arcane Magic in person, but can choose to let the Union send someone to the location of the quasi-Level 5 member to carry out the certification procedure.

Under normal circumstances, at least two great wizards will be sent for the certification of Level 5 members, and they must all be Level 5 members.

For a senior arcanist like himself with a special identity, and at this sensitive time, Xia Duo speculated that the Union of Arcane Magic would most likely send a director to deal with it personally.

The most likely candidate for the director sent here is Archmage Brundes, who has had an intersection with him.

Archmage Auron is of course also possible, but that should have been before the princess ascended to the godhood in the past. Now the princess has successfully ascended to the godhood but has lost contact, and there is a suspected power struggle inside the Giles Tower. It is even more sensitive for Auron to come here at this time.

However, if Shado succeeds in getting certified, it will certainly give great encouragement to the princesses such as Auron and Greta who are far away in Seventon.

A senior arcanist, even if he does not show up, his existence itself has a strong influence.

Of course, if he wants to be certified successfully, Shado still has one last step, which is to complete the ring-up trial again in the main plane.

…

As a passer-by in the main plane, Shado’s level of contact with the magic network has been limited since the moment he entered the projection plane.

At most, he can only reach the seventh layer of the magic network.

Even if the projected character was originally a low-level mage, after Sha Duo passes, he will immediately become a high-level mage; and if the projected character was originally a high mage, after Sha Duo passes, he will still be a high-level mage.

In addition, arcane fire is a special creation created by the arcanist through magic on the main plane. It cannot be brought to the projection plane. If it only comes into contact with the fifth layer of the magic network, it can be re-created on the projection plane.

Therefore, even if Sha Duo completed the ring promotion trials many times in [Projection Plane: Birth of Cormanso], he was unable to access the deeper levels of the magic network.

You have to do it again in the main plane. The projection plane cannot be upgraded. It is more like an existence that accumulates experience for the caster to truly upgrade in the main plane.

…

Not surprisingly, Xia Duo only completed one 8-level spell experiment using low-level elements in the spell laboratory, and the eighth level of the Magic Network was completely opened to him.

Three years on the main plane and ten years on the projected plane.

It took him thirteen years to travel back in time and finally reach the point where he is now, becoming a senior arcanist who plays an important role in Netheril.

Withdrawing from the macro vision of the magic network, Xia Duo was filled with emotion. He knew that there were still more thirteen years waiting for him in the future, and he would definitely take one step, two steps, two steps, until he reached the unimaginable state.
